I read THIS this morning and had to pass it along.
Rob at Transition Culture describes a way that he has expanded on the traditional way of showing the movie “The End of Suburbia”
When people arrived, they were given 4 different coloured Post-It notes. They were asked to write on one colour (the colours for each question were posted on the wall so they could see) one thing I can do, then one thing Totnes can do, then one thing the Government can do, and finally one other thought that came to them from watching the film.
After the film they posted them all on the wall under the respective colour, and then over the next couple of days, Naresh and myself typed them up. I will be emailing them back out to everyone who attended. Felt a lot more productive than all just watching the film and going home again, and gave some interesting pointers for the beginning of the Energy Descent Plan project.
Head on over for a look at what people came up with. Great brainstorming and responses. I truly believe that “two (or many) heads are better than one” – this is a great example of that, and an easy way that you could increase feedback at your next showing.

What a great idea! On my last trip to CA I heard that the WELL group in Willits has two groups at their meetings. One which watches EOS and the other with people who have seen EOS and want to join a committee to take some action. The people who’ve seen it bring a friend to watch it and then go on to help out. They’ve gotten great partipation this way.
